Throughout Season 1 of House of the Dragon, we were left with many scenes and moments that fans will not be forgetting any time soon. In order to relive some of these iconic moments, here are the top 5 most memorable moments from House of The Dragon, Season 1. *Spoilers ahead*
1) Vaemond Beheaded by Daemon
During Episode 8, fans are graced with one of the most savage moments in all of Game Of Thrones. While voicing his claims for Driftmark, Vaemond makes the poor decision of attacking the legitimacy of Rhaenyra's Children, worsening the situation by labeling the Heir to the Iron Throne as a "whore." To this public outburst, King Viserys demands his tounge be cut out. Instead, Daemon swiftly beheads Vaemond and says, "He may keep his tounge."

2) Vhagar goes rouge
In the Season Finale of the show, fans experience a tense game of "cat and mouse" between Lucerys and Aemond. During the intense dragon chase through a raging storm, Lucerys' dragon Arrax shoots flames at Aemond's dragon Vhagar. Arrax, being one of the smallest dragons, does nothing more than irritate the incredibly giant Vhagar. Vhagar then goes rouge from Aemond's command and kills both Lucerys and Arrax. This will surely spark war amongst the Targaryens in seasons to come.

3) Downfall of the Crabfeeder
In one of the only large-scale battles of the season, Daemon takes on the Crabfeeder. This comes after the Crabfeeder has been causing unrest in the Stepstones. Heroically, Daemon attempts to take on the entire army alone, however he is quickly surrounded and overwhelmed. He raises a white flag signaling his defeat. Then Daemon's army and dragons come to his aid vanquishing the Crabfeeder and his allies from their treachery.

4) An eye for a dragon
After the death of Vhagar's rider, Lady Laena, young Aemond makes an attempt to make contact with, and ride, Vhagar. This leads to the outburst of the children of both Laena and Rhaenyra, leading to an all out fight between the children of the Targaryen house. During this fight, Aemond loses and eye. Queen Alicent demands that Rhaenyra's eldest son also lose an eye for their side's involvement. Although King Viseys puts a stark end to the matter, Aemond calms his mother saying, "I may have lost an eye but I have gained a dragon."

5) Viserys takes the throne
As Viserys' health continues to decline, the fate of the realm hangs in the balance. Due to his poor health, the majority of the royal decisions are made by the Greens. This creates a conflict when the deliberations are raised over the Kingdom's Heir. It is then that we get the dramatic scene of an extremely weak Viserys entering, making his way to his throne, losing the crown on his head: an extremely symbolic instance. This moment creates one of the most iconic portrayals of the King.
